A Talk About the Weather.

The interval between sunrise and sun
set is twentysix minutes longer to-day
than it was on the shortest day of the
year-December 81.
AS the sunshine increases, the dreariness
and bleakness of winter is relieved. The
rays of the sun fall too obliquely to make
any very great change in the temperature
in our zone, and although the warmer
weather has been interrupted by the last
cold wave, this state of things is not
likely, in the nature of events, to con-
tinue very long. So all who suffer from
cold may take heart and be comforted,
for the backbone Of winter is weakening,
If it be not already broken.

cited crowd. Dernan claimed that Martin
had stolen $lS from him and he took this
method of being reyenged. The muir

The New Hall of tn. Christian Association

The New Hall OF the Christian Association.
Unless some unforeseen accident occurs,
the new hall of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association will be completed In
March.
II is now being finished up. A coat OF
white paint is being put on, and after
that the finishing work can be rapidly
completed. The interior will be fixed up
neatly and handsomely. The main hall
will have some seven hundred seats. In
the erection of the hall neatness and COM
fort have been studied rather than show
with lavish expenditure. The hall will
be heated by steam. This work is in
charge of Messrs G. IL A. Bargamin, and
the most approved apparatus will be put
up. .u
SAP 900, including the lot, for which So
600 was paid The building itself will
probably cost $4,000 with the extras.
Some OF these extras are in the nature OF
improvements on the original design, and
the building of brick walls where par
titions only had been provided by the
architects.
In subscription the committee had $3l,
900. Between $4,000 and $27 900 has
already been paid in.
The amount needed will be furnished
by some liberal men of Richmond. Many
who have already subscribed have ex-
pressed disposition to subscribe further
to this object.
They say that they believe that money
placed in such hall will be a paying in
yestment The hall will be made as at
tractve as possible to young men, and
great good is expected to result from its
erection. The aid of the mothers, wives,
sisters, and of the women of Richmond
generally will be invoked IN the work of
furnishing the interior, and much is ex-
pected from their efforts in this direc-
ton.
